Thanks for the invite and I'm so glad I went. Your pasta salad was so good along with everything else. It makes me happy to see your little family loving their church. This picture is just too cute for words.

I so admire your ambition towards motherhood. I've commented before about my fear of making the leap to being a mom, and I have so much admiration towards those who not only do it well, but enjoy it and want it more each time they have a baby.

This hits really close to home as this is something we talk about and think about and pray about on a near daily basis. My heart and home have room for more yet on paper I wonder sometimes if we do. I have been working on a blog post about similar feelings. Thanks for sharing where you're at kind of!

I know exactly what you mean. My heart tells me to keep going and have a few more children. My head tells me that I am tired and maxed out as it is, not to mention worries about over-population, planet strain from over-use of resources (Americans, my family, is especially guilty of this) yet thinking that Gracie is my last baby makes my head pound and my heart ache. It is such a hard final decision to make.

I have baby fever, but I know that NOW is not the time. I am still tired and exhausted from my last baby. (he's 22 mos) I think my body needs a rest. BUT, I know that when the time is right...I will have another baby join our family of 4.

in my church we often say that there are spirits just waiting for you, and only you know if there are some waiting up there for you. and if you don't give in to that desire they will still come to earth choosing a different family. I like thinking about that. it makes me feel like I could have a hundred kids.
